So I am having trouble with a mac. After the antivirus removing a virus it got, all the files in the User Directory folders Applications, Documents, Downloads, Music, Pictures, Movies has disappeared. If you go to All My Files all the files are still there.

Files do exist and in the Get Info tab they show that they exist in that location enter image description here
Files Don't appear in the in the Music Folder enter image description here
I have tried using sudo mdutil -E /
I get the message that indexing has been enabled.

When I try to do sudi mdutil -E /Users/
I get the message: No Index.

When I do ls -la ~/Music:

  • Open your Terminal.app, then enter cd ~/Music; ls -la. What does it output?

  • Thanks. Next time please just edit the question to add that info! So… when you do chflags nohidden ~/Music/iTunes, does the folder show in Finder again?

  • No. The folder doesn't show in Finder.
